Bahamas Speed Week Revival 2011 will see the return of racing cars that appeared during the original era including a Ferrari 500 TRC. The four cylinder, two litre engine car has been owned and raced by the Cottingham family with great success. With Bahamas Speed Week Revival just a little less than a month away, the international media buzz about the event is in high gear with magazine writers, daily and Sunday newspapers, radio, TV and online publication writers showing "extraordinary interest" in covering the five-day series of time trials, exhibitions and social events set to start November 30.

"The media response has been nothing short of amazing," said Tyrone Sawyer, manager of sports tourism. "From as early as three months out, the media frenzy was on. We could have more than one dozen respected travel, auto, lifestyle and racing publications just from the UK alone in Nassau for up to a week to cover Bahamas Speed Week Revival.

Several have already discussed side trips to the Family Islands to write or produce pieces about vacationing, diving and property in The Bahamas." With similar sentiments being expressed in the United States with car enthusiasts and luxury websites such as Hemmings' Blog, JustLuxe.com and Thrillist running articles and photos, media enthusiasm appears to be a clear indication that Bahamas Speed Week Revival is poised to be more than a one-time happening.

According to the Ministry of Tourism's agency in the U.S., writers from Road & Track, JustLuxe.com, Vintage Racecar Journal and JustLuxe.com are on tap to attend and cover the event.
